About

Born in Valdivia (Chile), Ana Liz Ojeda began studying the violin at the age of seven with her father. Receiving a scholarship allowed her to continue her training at Columbus College (USA) with Patricio Cobos. In 1999 she moved to Europe, where until 2004 she studied at the Hochschule für Musik Detmold (Germany) under the guidance of Marco Rizzi, obtaining the Higher Artistic Diploma, the Diploma in Musical Pedagogy and the Master Degree in Chamber Music.
During this time she enriched her training by attending masterclasses with András Schiff, Kathleen Winkler, Philippe Herreweghe, David Kim, Simon Standage, Giannis Vatikiotis, Helge Slatto, Gottfried von der Goltz, Enrico Gatti and Stefano Montanari.

Along with intensive orchestral activity, which saw her playing with various European orchestras until becoming leader of the second violins in the “Giuseppe Verdi” Symphony Orchestra of Milan, conducted by Riccardo Chailly, Ana Liz took up the Baroque violin in 2003. She studied with Ryo Terakado at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague (the Netherlands), subsequently honing her skills with Stefano Montanari at the Scuola Civica di Musica in Milan.
She decided to devote herself full time to performing early music with original instruments, and in 2007 was invited by Stefano Montanari to be part of the Accademia Bizantina directed by Ottavio Dantone, in which Ana Liz currently plays the role of first soloist in the second violins.

With this prestigious group she has a busy performing schedule that has led to her playing in the most important venues at the international level: Carnegie Hall and the Lincoln Centre (New York), the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts (Kingston) and the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts (Toronto), Palau de la Música Catalana (Barcelona), Teatro Real (Madrid), Wigmore Hall and the Barbican Centre (London), Théâtre des Champs-Élysées (Paris) and the Opéra Royal (Versailles); the Royal Concertgebouw (Amsterdam), the Berliner Philharmonie and the Kölner Philharmonie, the Theater an der Wien (Vienna), the Prague National Theatre, the Beijing National Centre for Performing Arts, Hong Kong City Hall, the Kiev Philharmonic Theatre, the Esplanade Theatre, the Royal Opera House of Muscat, Teatro alla Scala in Milan and Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome, and the Teatro Municipal in Santiago de Chile.
Ana Liz Ojeda is also often invited to collaborate with other early music ensembles, including Zefiro, La Risonanza, I Barocchisti, Helsinki Baroque Orchestra, L'Onda Armonica, Concerto Italiano, Atalanta Fugiens, Il Complesso Barocco, Il Pomo d'Oro and Göttinger Haendel - Festspielorchester.

Her discography includes: "The Art of Fugue" by J.S. Bach and the Concerti Grossi by Handel, Corelli and Geminiani (second solo violin) with Accademia Bizantina (Decca); the Concertos for Strings by Vivaldi (Naïv), "Bach Concertos" with Viktoria Mullova (Onyx) and "Vivaldi con moto" with Giuliano Carmignola (Archiv); "Gli strali d'amore" by André Campra with La Risonanza and Fabio Bonizzoni (Glossa); the "Trout" Quintet by Schubert, and the Quartet for Piano and Strings Op. 16 by Beethoven, Mozart Quartets for fortepiano and strings KV 478 on original instruments, with the “Tetraone” Ensemble (Novantiqua).
In the educational field, Ana Liz is regularly invited by the University of Santiago and Catholic University of Chile for masterclasses and Baroque music projects. In 2019 she was the professor of modern and baroque violin, conducting also the Chamber Orchestra at the University of Talca.

In the same year taught baroque violin at the Ticino Music Festival.
